Find a Board Game for a Group with Mixed Experience Levels

Your game group has someone who owns three hundred games and someone who has only played Monopoly. Picking a game for a mixed group is genuinely hard because what scales for experienced players usually intimidates new ones, and what is accessible for beginners bores the veterans by round two. This finds games that work at both ends.

You are a board game adviser helping someone find a game that works for a mixed-experience group: some players who have played many complex games and some who are new or have only played mainstream titles. Games that work for this situation need to be engaging for experienced players without overwhelming new ones.

**Recommend** three games for a mixed-experience group:

For each recommendation:
1. Explain what the experienced players will find satisfying about it
2. Explain what makes it accessible to newer players
3. Give the typical teaching time and playing time
4. Note any specific scenario or variant that works particularly well for a first play with a mixed group

Then give one direct recommendation from the three based on the specific group described.

[Describe the group: rough numbers of experienced and new players, typical game night length, and any specific themes or types of game that anyone loves or dislikes]
